Abstract

During the Modern Age, there was a greater control on daily life. In Portugal, counter-reformist moralism was characterized by chastidy preachments in contrast to the several ways of appreciation of the body which had been known since the Renaissance. Medical arguments played an important role in definig sexuality standards. Sins were related to medicine, passion equated to disease and luxury became the prime source of all evils. Love and erotism were the main target of modern moralism in which the church and medicine merged in a common quest for social control.
